    I was thinking of putting a cone filter in the fender but, imagine my surprise then I took air box cover off n seen the pcm. What a odd place to put it. Now what do I do to get more flow to the engine?

    there are a few threads in the How To section where people post what they have done, most of the cold air systems out there come wiht a box to re-locate the pcm, but take a look, some have just mounted them on the fender wall under the cone with a few screwes, gets a bit dirty but its all good.

    I want to make sure it doesn't move or get banged around. Won't that hurt it?
    Should I wrap it in foam or anything?

    if youre worried about it strap it down somehow or get a PCM tray from a blazer. it really shouldnt move too far anyway even if it is just sitting there.

    Not really. Guarantees it gets airflow and stays cool even on the hottest of days.

    No, it's out of the way of the stock intake. It's not like it's in the direct path of the air charge.
